They’ll also post helpful notes by Peter Davison, who edited the Complete Works.

Today is the first one, from August 9th, 1938. On that day, Orwell picked up a snake by the tail & it scared his dog. I also learned a Shakespeare fact: that ancient peoples though the tongue of the snake gave poison, not the fangs.

I’m going to enjoy this so much.
